I just went to Center Island for the first time - and I am super glad I rented a Bicycle from Here. First of all the bike was super cool - called a WAVE bike with longer "Crusin'" handlebars. It was a smooth ride and they made sure I got a well tuned bike. I'll be back :) Thanks guys! :)

As a bike rental place it's not so bad. Prices are all right. I can't really remember exact numbers but I remember thinking it could be a lot worse in a tourist trap like the Islands.
On busy days (like the weekend in the summer) it can get pretty hectic as people line up, decide how many hours they want the bike, what kind of bikes they want, and finally rummage for their IDs to leave as a deposit.
The coolest thing definitely has to be the tandem bicycles. Don't be scared to ride them! the people who work at the bike rental place are generally very nice and will give you pointers on how to get started if you need help. once you start, it's very easy (:
They aslo have 2 person and 4 person quadricycles--they look like cars but each seat has pedals to propel the vehicle and there is one steering wheel. You need a driver's license to rent one of these. They are also really hard to ride (lots of effort), just because of the gearing and added weight. I don't recommend renting one of these--it's kind of cool and gimmicky but riding a normal bike is much more fun.
If you are planning on just getting a normal bike, maybe try bixi. It's 5 dollars flat rate, with a few dollars per half hour. Read the bixi website. I haven't tried them yet.
Thank you Peter H for pointing out my mistake ;DListed in: Biking fetish
